Ancient Water and Modern Science: Cox 5th Graders Explore the Mesa Water Education and Career Center

Cox students at Mesa Water District
Fifth-grade students from Cox Elementary School stepped out of the classroom and into the fascinating world of environmental science during a recent field trip to the Mesa Water Education and Career Center (MWECC). As the only facility of its kind in Orange County, the 2,400-square-foot center provided Eagles with an interactive, hands-on look at how local water is sourced, treated, and protected.

Throughout the visit, students engaged with more than 20 interactive exhibits, including the Redwood Theater and the immersive Explorer experience. Eagles learned the captivating story of the Orange County Groundwater Basin and discovered how Mesa Water draws from a 100% local supply—including unique, 12,000-year-old groundwater naturally tinted by ancient redwood tree remnants from tens of thousands of years ago.

E-bike safety continues to be a priority for Fountain Valley School District (FVSD), where partnerships with local law enforcement have helped students and families access safety education for years. At last week's Superintendent's Parent Council (SPC) meeting, officers from the Fountain Valley Police Department (FVPD) joined district leaders and PTA/PTO presidents to share an exciting next step: FV Police Department is preparing to host its first community E-Bike Safety Training on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at Fulton Middle School!

Building on Years of Partnership

With approximately one-third of FVSD students residing in Huntington Beach, the district has long partnered with the Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) to connect families with its popular youth e-bike safety clinics.

HBPD has been at the forefront of youth e-bike safety education nationwide, offering Saturday training clinics since 2022. These hands-on sessions have provided FVSD students and parents with valuable instruction on traffic laws, safe riding practices, and responsible e-bike ownership. We appreciate the many FVSD families who have participated in these increasingly popular classes over the years!

Building on this successful model, HBPD Officer Mike Thomas founded VoltVerified, a California nonprofit that brings together law enforcement, educators, healthcare professionals, and other community partners to promote safer riding through education and hands-on training.

An important part of VoltVerified's mission is helping neighboring law enforcement agencies establish their own community training programs, expanding access to consistent, high-quality e-bike safety education throughout the region.
